UChicago Questions? Ask an admissions counselor!

Hi @robjones , UChicago does not track demonstrated interest, so your ability to visit campus will not impact your admissions decision.

Hi @kimjiwonjenny , Yes! Please don’t worry. Within a couple weeks, we will send you an e-mail letting you know that credential checking has opened, and the materials checklist will be available through your UChicago Account. If we are missing any materials, you will be able to resubmit them without any penalty.

Hi @CactusUsername , We do not have any strict word limits, so you do not need to cut down your extended essay.

Hi @coolcheesebagel , Interviews are completely optional, so your application will not be negatively impacted if you do not request one. Legacy status is something that we can consider, but in a holistic admissions process, it is one of many factors that will be a part of our decision-making process– and would not be something that could overcome an otherwise lackluster application. It all depends on how the information fits in in the greater context of your application.
